What is technical debt?

“Techinical Debt” comes from the mouth of Ward Cunningham, he first used the technical complexity ratio as a liability, referred to as “technical debt”.

Software development is a very complicated project, so many people consider “software development” as “software engineering”. Software is aimed at serving various industries (finance, medical, shopping, etc.). Thus our programmers may not fully understand that certain field in order to control it under our expertise properly. In the end, software architecture will inevitably result in having lots of “technical debts”.

Although technical debt is inevitable, but it is a problem of quantity as a matter of fact.
